There are many opportunities to participate in sport on Campus, commencing with different sporting clinics for students in the early years. These occur on Campus, generally at the end of the school day with a nominal cost for the program.

From Year 2 or 3, students have opportunities to join Campus teams for competitive sport events. Sport is often held Saturday mornings at Campus or nearby schools. Recently this has included soccer, netball, football, basketball and cricket.

There are further opportunities to compete in athletics and sporting competitions through SA Christian Schools Association and SAPSASA events.
